Feral horse damage in a subalpine grassland on Bogong High Plains; autumn 2019 (left) and autumn 2025 (right). Recovery from disturbances in alpine systems is slow - but a marked change in condition since horses were remove! Perennial snow grasses and native forbs beginning to colonise bare ground.

New paper out on the impacts of fire on 5 small vertebrates across SE Australia.
High severity fire has a substantial impact on threatened broad-toothed rats and glossy grass skinks.
We also highlight the importance of habitat refuges for ameliorating impacts of recurrent fires.

New paper, led by @dadriscoll.bsky.social.
• High fire severity caused precipitous declines of two threatened species.
• Protecting or creating refuges is critical to counter increasingly frequent fires.

Shocking to see extensive mortality amongst the remnant populations of Silver Banksia at my old study sites. It's been an exceptionally dry summer but I've never seen it this bad before. #drought #climatechange

New paper! How does age affect plant trait-growth relationship? Does how you measure growth matter? 🌱📏Big thank you to @ianjwright.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to lead this when I was just a research assistant. doi.org/10.1111/1365...
Do trait–growth relationships vary with plant age in fire‐prone heathland shrubs?
We demonstrate that key functional traits undergo shifts in their relationship with growth as plants mature. Therefore, it will be valuable to shift our understanding of plant strategies away from th...

Yayy 🌱🪲🐝🐌- A list of stellar ecologists and myself showed that (1) species interactions can be summarised at the guild level, except for a few critical species, (2) they occur along a continuum from positive-to-negative, and (3) they have relatively weak strength except between plants!
A Continuum From Positive to Negative Interactions Drives Plant Species' Performance in a Diverse Community
We explored the patterns of species performance in a real-world community, dependent on pairwise and higher-order interactions with species belonging to the same and other trophic levels (plant, herb....
